Porfolio 2022

This portfolio brings together
my selected work from my time
at Del Mar College. I am con-
stantly learning new things and
exploring my creativity. I am a
curious person eager to learn
and improve my skills day by
day.

Sustainability and reduced en-
virnomental impacts are key
components in my vision of ar-
chitecture. My academic goal is
to expand my knowledge while
providing leadership in the pur-
suit of an March degree and
licensure. I embrace the future
of our built environment with
enhanced knowledge of innova-
tion, symbolism and construc-
tion technology.

Artwork Interpretation

Using the “Pink Tulip” by
Georgia o’keefe as the focus
of research. The design con-
cept uses points, lines,con-
toured planes, and color to
represent content. Through
the exploration of nature
and music, intrepreations
were symbolized through
graphic representations.
Variations of a pattern
formed by point, line, and
plane led to iterations of
form.

Dynamic Field Points

The design concept uses
points, lines and contoured
planes to represent con-
tent. Through the explora-
tion of nature and music,
intrepreations were symbol-
ized through graphic repre-
sentations. Variations of a
pattern formed by point,
line, and plane led to
iterations of form.

Point, Line, Plane, Volume

The design concept is to ex-
plore point, line, plane,
and volume in the creation
of contrast and hierachy.
Shape and mass were sculpt-
ed creating the form of each
piece, then appied dynamical-
ly on a glass base to form
a new plane. Finally, it was
given the general aesthetics
of the structure.

Freehand Study

The design concept is to
capture the line, shape,
form, tonality and overall
expression of the window
studies through freehand
sketching.

Tiny Beach House

The design concept is to
create an efficient house
that reponds to the
south texas vernacular.
The Learning objectives
focused on orthographic

Community Center

The design concept for this
acsa competition entry is
based on the triangular
geometry of the site. The
overall architectural form
becomes iterations of this
triangular module.

Gallery of Art

The design concept is
to generate a composite
form using the plutonic
shapes as modules. the
site generated response
of hard-edged geomet-
ric on the front, relates
to the nearby modernist
buildings. To the back the
massing transitions to an
organic response to the
ocean.

The design concept is to
generate a composite form
using the plutonic shapes
as modules. the site gen-
erated response of hard-
edged geometric on the
front, relates to the city.
To the back the massing
transitions into smaller
modules relating to the
park. The learning objec-
tives included designing
for human scale.

The design concept is to sym-
bolize the freedom of a bird
in flight. The hierarchy of
the interior space builds to
a soaring quality over the
alter.

Farnsworth House Addition

The design concept is to con-
trast the iconic Farnsworth
house using organic shapes
to create a place for contem-
plation. The structure will be
stereotomic, as it will give the
new addition a solid and heavy
massing as compared to the tec-
tonic structure of the Farn-
sworthhouse. the new addition
will play a role in providing
sustainability and a reduced
environmental impact. The over-
all architectural expression
creates contrast while striking
a balance.

Hi- Rise Boitique Hotel

The design concept is a
modular approach with
a focus on massing and
scale to create silouhette.
The site analysis revealed
a mix of vernacular forms
identified as 19c to 21c
structures. This solution
navigartes the range re-
sponding to the history of-
cooper sqaure, nyc.
